In Dr. Schattler ’s case, having madethe decision to travel abroad far in advance, she was not anticipating that this trip would occur inthe midst of moving to a new house with her new husband and other family medical emergenciesthat arose back in the US. Dealing with such personal issues long distance, coupled with theintensity of the program, balancing students’ needs inside and outside the classroom, classroomresponsibilities, and acquiring advanced time management skills, while immersed in

During his time as president, the chapter grew to become one of the largest chapters in the world. He also volunteered at the NM State Science and Engineering Fair and NM State Science Olympiad. Francisco was awarded the NMT Student Appreciation Award (2013), the DOE Summer Visiting Faculty-Student Fellowship at Sandia National Laboratories (2013), and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Outstanding Scholarship Award (2012).Ms. Tennille Charisse Bernard, The University of New Mexico Ms. Bernard is a graduate student of The University of New

The committee may meet multiple times until all the issues raised by thecommittee are addressed by the applying institute. The review committee visits the campus inSongdo and has a Q&A meeting with the faculty and staff. At the final stage of the review, thecommittee has a site visit to the overseas main campus. Every time new programs are added tothe already approved branch campus, MoE requires a new submission of the application,although some sections of the application may remain unchanged.The Global Campus can contribute to the higher education in South Korea by providing

, social, cultural, and economic issues thatare intimately connected to engineering issues and people affected by these engineeringchallenges. One of the most effective ways of providing our students these learning experiencesis through education abroad opportunities. Yet less than 4% of US engineering students studyabroad and there has been little growth in the past two years1. It is also well established that experiential, project/problem-based learning with an emphasison acquiring new knowledge and applying and integrating previous knowledge can be veryeffective structures for enhancing student learning2. These structures engage students in open-ended, ambiguous, authentic activities; and usually involve teams. It is learning that goes

1995, two CEC faculty went abroad; one to Denmark and one to England. Their purpose wasto plan for a study abroad, inspect potential venues for the students, and to arrange for coursetransfer credits for engineering courses. After a survey of CEC students concerning the countryand course they would prefer, an environmental engineering course was selected to be taught inLondon England during the January interim of 1996. CEC appealed to industrial partners forfinancial contributions to help support students taking this first study abroad. CEC has beenblessed with many industrial partners who have supported the department, but only one at thetime decided that international study abroad was a worthwhile cause.A group of ten students studied in

The purpose of the competition isboth educative – educational experience for the participating students, for the general public, forthe building industry and the policy makers – and research oriented – encouraging multi-disciplinary collaboration towards development of new technologies and methods.The paper discusses the educational experience of the students participating in this internationalcompetition, focusing on the engineering undergraduate students. It describes the planimplemented for integrating the Solar Decathlon into the required curricula within theengineering, architecture, and business departments. A project as large and diverse as this onerequired accommodating curricular development at various levels and within various modes

However, sparse researchexists that comprehensively assesses globally focused outcomes associated with such efforts, andthe simple question remains: Are international programs for STEM students effective in meetingthese goals?In this paper, we compare the experiences of students participating in two Research Experiences forUndergraduates (REU
